Integrating Zero Suicide in Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs)
Friday, January 23, 2026 at 2:30-3:30pm
Laurin will lead a presentation that explores practical strategies for implementing the Zero Suicide framework within Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) to create a comprehensive, system-wide approach to improving suicide care. Participants will learn how CCBHCs can embed evidence-based practices, strengthen leadership commitment, and develop coordinated suicide care pathways that ensure no one falls through the cracks. Through examples and implementation lessons, the session highlights tools, training, and metrics that drive sustainable change—empowering outpatient settings to move from crisis response to proactive prevention and continuous improvement.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the core components of the Zero Suicide framework and explain how they align with the mission and structure of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs).
- Describe practical steps and strategies for implementing Zero Suicide practices within CCBHC systems, including workforce training, data-driven improvement, and cross-team collaboration.
- Apply lessons learned and implementation tools to develop or strengthen a comprehensive suicide prevention plan that promotes a culture of safety and accountability across all levels of care.
